Is there any difference between the following ways of expressing multiple necessary conditions in ontology (via Protege)
Each necessary condition expressed one by one inside the SubclassOf Section (for class A):
instrument some B
object some C
All of those stated at once (via the class expression editor)
instrument some B and object some C
Are 1 and 2 semantically the same?

Yes they are equivalent. The choice of which way to go is yours: which approach do you find more readable? That is the best choice.
